Lilacs are an Edmonton spring favourite. Pruned at the right time, they stay full and flower beautifully. We prune lilacs and lilac hedges across the city.
Lilacs, from the classic common lilac to the Japanese tree lilac, are grown all over Edmonton for their scent and bloom. The single most important thing with lilacs is timing, since they flower on old wood and set next year's buds soon after blooming.
That means the right time to prune is just after they finish flowering. Prune too late and you cut off next year's blooms. Lilacs also benefit from thinning old stems and, when overgrown, careful rejuvenation.
